I wrote this amazing literary work while running an art therapy group the other day. I started a photography group with some of the kids I work with. The idea is to take pictures of the world from their perspective and write some kind of essay or poem about it. While the girls were writing their own works I was bored, so I flipped through pictures I had in my phone and found this photo, which inspired the moving poem you'll find below:
Dexter
I look innocent don't I?
But go ahead, look me in the eye
I'm a fierce beast
and I see your feet as a feast
When you least expect it
I'll become a big fat twit
I'll meow and howl, and when you turn your back,
that's when I'll attack
Then I'll be your friend
until we do it again.
Thank you, thank you very much.

LOL...the big fat twit line is awesome! The cat around here is Miss Penny, seventeen and belongs to my landlord. She still attacks birds and acts like she is three...I love her!
Steph, Dexter is an indoor cat and we have to watch his weight as well. He's a weirdo though, he will only eat cat food. No tuna, no milk, no cheese...just cat food.
Amy-I never used to be a cat person but despite my cat's occasionally rotten disposition, I've become more attached that I would have thought.
